Most X-rays have a wavelength ranging from 0.01 to 10 nanometers, corresponding to frequencies in the range 30 petahertz to 30 exahertz and energies in the range 100 eV to 100 keV. X-ray wavelengths are shorter than those of UV rays and typically longer than those of gamma rays.wiki/X-ray(1933) Golden Gate Bridge building beginsConstruction officially starts on the iconic San Francisco Bay span when 3.25 million cubic feet of soil is excavated to make way for the bridge’s anchorages.

I don't need it, I don't miss it, in fact it has made my life more productive and void of gross hate, vitriol and drivel.
